Decent
(Betsy - 10/2/07)It's certainly a downgrade from my film SLR but it definitely beats the price of a new digital SLR. I definitely appreciate the manual options but there are limitations- since it is a semi-manual after all. I find the built in flash to be a bit obtrusive at times and without it the slightest movement can blur the image. It's noisy in quiet settings but not overly so compared to my old Nikon. I'm not a fan of the action setting. I'm thinking about buying some other lenses to see if they add any more benefits. Overall a decent camera. Good upgrade for someone wanting to have more manual options but not deal with the price of a SLR.
